DOUBLE FAULT!!! Oh no

by summerblues Sun 22 Mar - 23:32

Oh no

From 40-15 up too Crying or Very sad

by Incrediblexman Sun 22 Mar - 23:32

Federer just can't squeeze out these types of matches against Djokovic.

by Jahu Sun 22 Mar - 23:33

Fed melting, he can't sustain more then 10 minutes on fire.

by temporary21 Sun 22 Mar - 23:34

...and there we are.

by Jahu Sun 22 Mar - 23:36

come on Fed, at least let him serve for the match.

by bogbrush Sun 22 Mar - 23:37

Fed slowing visibly.

by Jahu Sun 22 Mar - 23:37

2 MP for djoko

by temporary21 Sun 22 Mar - 23:37

Shall I go get my mother? ooooh...

Also Did Petch really just quote Gladiator!!!!
More epic than the last guaranteed.

by Guest Sun 22 Mar - 23:38

Well done Novak.

He was the better player overall and deserved to win.

Some stunning points and a very good match overall - yet again by these two.

by Haddie-nuff Sun 22 Mar - 23:38

Well played Nole... and Yahoo

my prediction was spot on

by It Must Be Love Sun 22 Mar - 23:38

Djokovic deserved that.

by Jahu Sun 22 Mar - 23:38

DJoko deserved it, apart from 15 minutes of Fed magic, Djoko held in nicely.

Fed should become the King of ATP 500/250.

by temporary21 Sun 22 Mar - 23:39

Done deal, gratz for Novak, he came back really well after being put on the rocks at least twice. Fed showing he dont need no fast court to compete, but it was in the end only competing, he was never ahead.

by Guest Sun 22 Mar - 23:39

Yeah Fed's footwork was gone in that third set.

by bogbrush Sun 22 Mar - 23:39

What on Earth is Petchey babbling on about? "History is written by the winners and it will be Novak Djokovic who is written on ... blah blah drivel blah drivel"

Do they pay him for this?

by summerblues Sun 22 Mar - 23:39

Oh well. Well done Nole, he was far the better player for most of the match. Could well have won 6:3 6:2.

by Guest Sun 22 Mar - 23:40

Fed's become a 2 hour max player. The engine can no longer go beyond that.

by Jahu Sun 22 Mar - 23:41

Fed should smash a racket sometimes too, it helped Djoko to clear his head nicely Laugh

by Incrediblexman Sun 22 Mar - 23:41

On these courts Federer is unlikely to win against Djokovic/Nadal/Murray if they're playing their best. I don't suspect Fed will do much in Miami.

Oh dear. Did anyone say he can't compete on a slow court? But for sure it hurts him.

Djokovic the king of the slower hard courts.

I can guarantee Federer won't even win a match there, that's how much of a Federer-hater I am.

I think you are right em I dont think there is enough gas for a GS win

by HM Murdock Sun 22 Mar - 23:43

I was too frustrated to sleep.. glad I came back down!

Decent match. Both players produced moments of magic and both produced moments they'd probably rather forget.

11 weeks into the season and Novak has a slam and a Masters to his name. Not bad at all.

Despite the loss, Fed showed that even on a slow court, coming to the net can be a weapon.

I don't know about Murray, his game is in crisis at the moment.

?? I think you may be misquoting me. I said he needed to adapt to the courts which didnt favour him and adapt he did. Juts not well enough.

by Jahu Sun 22 Mar - 23:44

HMM, sleep tight now and behave laughing

I knew you wouldnt HM.. congratulatioNS AND go back to bed notworthy

by Calder106 Sun 22 Mar - 23:45

Well done to Djokovic. Federer put the pressure on and nearly cracked him but djokovic managed to refocus.

by It Must Be Love Sun 22 Mar - 23:46

Where is Nadal seeded for Miami ??

Yes, apart from Rafas childhood, now you know when posters go or come back from the bed.

Drop this crystal ball stuff Laugh

by temporary21 Sun 22 Mar - 23:48

You've missed the convo Hm was gonna go to bed for work during the third set but stayed up. In any I also agree hm should get some deserved rest

by HM Murdock Sun 22 Mar - 23:48

It's daft that the next event, which follows on immediately, is also a very slow court.

What's the point?

I did not miss it, I ignored it so I can have a go at HN.
